A flower is to be always beautiful lest it is cast away.

A flower is to be innocent and pure. 

Delicate in nature, ever to bring squinting smiles to those around. 

A flower is perfect. Always perfect. 

She was the perfect embodiment of a flower.

Her name, Iris.


A thorn is sharp like a knight's blade. 

It inflicts pain and draws blood if one dares to get close.

A thorn protects a flower from the wickedness of the world.

A thorn is attached to the king, ever guarding.

He was the perfect embodiment of a thorn. 

His name, Luca.



She was an iris in no need of a thorn and he was a thorn in no need of a delicate iris.
Thrust together by an arranged marriage, the unlikely pair, the thorn, and the flower must now find a way to co-inhabit in the same garden. 

Bracing the strength of the winter, will their love and companionship last for the spring season or will the cold betrayal of a parasitic orchid, the overflowing herbicide of lies and the perfect perfection of the Iris trample the delicate budding bloom of their affairs of the heart?All Rights Reserved

Because I don't share, Strega," I responded, my tone laced with possessiveness. "I would tear apart anyone who dares to come near you," I added, my voice seething with anger. "Why? I mean, it's not like we have something going on," she muttered, clearly taken aback. "I don't care. I simply do not share what belongs to me," I declared, my fury intensifying. "I'm not an object or a possession, Gio. I will-" "Enough! You are mine, and that is final," I growled, cutting her off abruptly. ---------------- _________________________________________________ INNOCENT BRIDES, RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRES #1 Tracythebelle❤️ Started ||June 2023|| #1 Blackamerican #1 Yonder #1 Blacklead

Falling Short by Zanoobah

My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise. Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it. The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer. *** | Top Ranks | [#05 in 'Resilience' - 18/04/2023] [#06 in 'Solution' - 28/08/2024] *** Important Note: Those who are easily triggered are advised not to continue with this book. Thank you :)
